Diggers will have a chance to spice up their Super Bowl parties with some fresh razor clams during a dig beginning Jan. 30 on several ocean beaches.
The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) approved the opening, which runs through Feb. 6, after marine toxin test results showed the clams are safe to eat.
“Razor clam dip makes a scrumptious Super Bowl snack,” Ayres said. “Diggers can fill their buckets with clams Friday and Saturday ahead of the big game.”
Razor clam recipes, including for clam dip, are available on WDFW’s webpage here.
Several beaches will be open – but likely a little quiet – on Super Bowl Sunday, providing lots of elbow room for diggers who aren’t football fans, Ayres said.
Under state law, diggers are required to keep the first 15 clams they dig. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container.
Upcoming digs are scheduled on the following dates, beaches and low tides:
- Feb. 5, Thursday; 7:30 p.m., 0.2 feet, Long Beach, Twin Harbors
- Feb. 6, Friday; 8:00 p.m., 0.5 feet, Long Beach, Twin Harbors
